Today, I'm on a medication that really dehydrates my skin. I thought split lips were the worst side effects. Other split orifices make a trip to the toilet a literal pain in the arse. No sign of stopping in the near future. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I have chronic dry mouth due to medication. It makes my breath smell atrocious, so I got some Biotene dry mouth lozenges. I usually have constipation issues. Lately it's been the opposite. So I can either have porta-potty breath or be on the brink of shitting myself. FML
Today, someone held me down and rubbed ChapStick all over my lips. I have a condition which requires medicinal balm, otherwise my lips crack and bleed, and ChapStick makes it worse. I’m still waiting on the balm to arrive. FML
Today, I discovered that of the three medicines I now have to take, all three of them have acne as a side effect. When acne is a side effect, I am 100% guaranteed to get it. FML
Today, I went on a new medicine. One of the listed side-effects was "anal seepage" and I spent the better part of the day laughing with my coworkers about how it's "not a real side-effect". I found out that it really is while stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the way home. FML
Today, I had so much skin peeling off my lips that it got caught in my fork as I was eating. FML
Today, I discovered that just because I got my braces removed does not mean my painful mouth ulcers will stop. I now have them under my tongue. I can't even lick my lips. FML
Today, I have what is probably a cold sore on my upper lip. I also have a mustache, which keeps rubbing against it. Because of this, no matter what I do, it stings. The next few days are fixing to be very, very long and miserable. FML
Today, I woke up bleeding from every orifice in my body. I've got a nose bleed from my medication, my gums bled when I brushed my teeth, I'm on my period, and I have hemorrhoids. FML
Today, I came down with painful sores in my mouth, just after having gotten over a cold. Apparently I'm allergic to the cough drops I've been eating for the past week to make myself feel better. FML
Today, I realized that acne is a major side effect of a medication I'm taking. The medication is to help me with my anxiety. The acne is creating more anxiety. And the more anxious I get, the more meds I need. And the more my face breaks out. FML

A bit of advice, don't listen to the douche that told you to get prednisone. However tucks pads are amazing, and you can use them temporarily until you hear from your physician. The aloe is very soothing :) good luck !

Hmm the douche was a doctor that told my brother to take it. Now his dry skin is gone. Do you have any experience in the medical field? Thought not. Next time don't be a bitch when someone has a solution to a problem.

151- Do you have any medical certifications? If not, you are the bitch and not 134. Your brother probably had an allergic reaction to something causing a rash. Often doctors use steroids such as prednisone to stop the allergic reaction depending on the person's drug allergies and sensitivities. I admit, I don't have medical certificates or degrees, but I am speaking from experience. And what happened to having respect on the postings on this site, anyway?

I do actually.

Then can we say that you should know the proper uses and side effects of prednisone and that it's not the solution for everyone?

In some cases yes. I can agree with you. It is used for so many applications.

If it's accutane, read up about the long-term damage.
